The Classic Woolloongabba Queenslander

House - Woolloongabba QLD

This meticulously renovated traditional Woolloongabba home captures perfectly all the style and charm of the original Queenslander, whilst incorporating all the expectations of a modern lifestyle.

The external symmetry of a wide central staircase leading to a double latticed entry sets the scene. The wrapping of the house in a three-sided verandah providing double-door access to four rooms typifies the traditional architecture designed to maximise cross-flow breezes in our sub-tropical climate. The verandah provides unique multi-purpose spaces as an extension of the indoor living areas, maximising shade or sunlight, dependent upon the season and the time of day.

A wide central hallway, showcasing the original polished floorboards used throughout, sees three double-sized bedrooms peel off on either side, all offering wall-to-ceiling tailored wardrobing, ceiling fans and ducted air-conditioning.

The spacious lounge area is perfectly situated to have easy access to an external informal entertaining space.

A traditional footprint has been maintained in the kitchen, with wide stone benchtops and catering-standard appliances more than fulfilling modern expectations, including the essential walk-in pantry – just where it used to be “way back when”. The kitchen oversees the general family living and dining space with a bank of windows to let the summer breezes invade – catch the city fireworks from here!

A fully restored claw foot bath is the dominant feature of the bathroom, which also includes a large frameless shower recess and spacious vanity and modern heating options.

A private inspection of this first-time marketed property will give us an opportunity to show you the living in a modern-day Queenslander can bring.
